So much of what I know about evolution and geology is from YEC debunking videos. To demolish pseudoscience, you need to know the real science, so it's a great way to learn.
Absolutely. As someone with dyslexia, that wasn’t diagnosed until I’d finished my education. I missed out on higher science education. But watching YEC debunking videos (especially Erica’s) has taught me so much that I never knew. It has been incredibly educational!
Science most certainly does not know everything. But we are intelligent enough to reevaluate and keep looking. Creationists are to stupid or lazy to work at learning. After all they can just blame God. Don't say god is infalible. Thats obviously wrong Furthermore, the universe is not tuned for life. Life adapts to live in certain environments. The universe over all is quite deadly. We are so insignificant on the cosmic scale as to be invisible. We are not important in the universe to be noticed. Get over yourself.
Creationists: "If the laws of physics would be slightly different, this universe wouldnt be suitable for life!" (fine tuning argument) Also creationist: "The laws and the rate of nuclear decay were different."
Yeah or they try to say things like the Moon is receding from the earth this speed so that must mean the Earth is younger than this and it's like no orbital mechanics are really fucking complicated but no they definitely do not indicate that that would be the case in fact the moon's orbit it varies sometimes it's closer sometimes it's farther away and sometimes it's orbit actually ends up having it's average distance reduced over and then it goes back to receding but it's starting closer than it was so it's like
My main gripe with the fine tuning argument is the rather obvious fact that we (as in living things in general) are a _product_ of our environment, which is the very reason why it "fits" us so well. And yeah... if our universe wouldn't be suitable for us, it wouldn't be suitable for us. Like, no shit Sherlock. But a _different_ environment/universe would produce _different_ forms of life and might also include idiots who think that _their_ planet was made just for them. The argument doesn't even work if you're convinced that no other forms of life are possible. Because there's still the problem that _only_ planets which are suitable for life could possibly _have_ someone on there to propose stupid arguments in the first place. So the _appearance_ of fine tuning is a guaranteed outcome for ANY species* on ANY planet in existence, regardless of the specifics. It would be much more remarkable if DIDN'T looked fine-tuned to us! *excluding species who aren't pattern-seekers, of course
@@borttorbbq2556 👍 That variation of the moon's orbit seems very logical. The earth's orbit isn't a circle, it's more of an oval. When the earth is at it's farthest point from the sun and the moon is at the opposite side of the earth from the sun it would logically move farther from the earth, when the earth is at it's farthest point from the sun and the moon is between the earth and the sun, the moon would move closer to the earth. Even without education I can see that point makes sense, good point. 👍 (edited for spelling)
Knee-jerk. Every cult defends itself with knee-jerks. You show them a problem? They reflexively kick out a response, _any_ response, even if it's random gibberish that sounds like what a stupid person thinks smart people sound like. Show them a different problem? _KICK!_ Doesn't matter what, or if it contradicts what they said five seconds ago. Honestly, it's like coherence is an object and they have no object permanence. I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not exaggerating, either; it's about _having a "response"_ not about whether it has any merit or quality. The oversized asses in the pews don't care, they just want to be patted on the head and told that "it's been taken care of", so it's just about having a knee-jerk noise delivered in an soothing, arrogant tone. I've seen creationists contradict themselves not just in the same breath _but within a single sentence._ They don't care, they'd never notice, and they wouldn't understand even if you tried to walk them through it. They use words and ideas like confetti or _pocket sand;_ a thing you throw in people's face to distract them. If you've seen those videos of the comedian interviewing Qanon crazies and asking them questions they immediately do a 180 on, you know how it goes. _Ah luv freeze peach! An' ah thunk dem lihbruls shouldn't be allowed to say things ah dun like!_ It's nothing but slogans and catchphrases to them. _Reality itself_ operates on bumper sticker logic; you slap it on and there it is and it doesn't have to mean anything but it's true because you slapped it on. The older I get, the less it feels like those people are actually human beings. They have more in common with Roombas; move around mindlessly and only good for smearing shit wherever they go.
Offering context for why some of us prefer these videos over the others -- Your videos help me deconstruct religious views I was force-fed (and fearmongered) into from the age of 7 to 14. I imagine a lot of others get a great thrill of catharsis watching these videos imagining smashing their indoctrinators over the head with it in the same manner we were smashed over the head with the Bible.
Me too. My stepdad introduced my mom and I to YEC when I was like 4 and my moms mom grew up catholic so she bit and I was forced to go to church. I finally said I wasn't gonna go to church anymore and became agnostic for a while and than this year I decided to finally deconstruct I'm 22 now😅

Since google is a pro-mythology country if you want to get them to watch this you have to make it sound like you are trying to prove them right. Which come to think of it would be a great series of videos starting with trying to prove one of their points and in the process completely debunking it.
For what it's worth, I love almost everything you make. The straight science videos are also super entertaining. Thanks for the work you put into these.
Laughed so hard I nearly soiled myself when he said "the granite itself would reabsorb that heat", proving he either has no clue about how much energy this would be, or he thinks granite doesn't melt (or is this case boil and more). The dufus thinks he solved the problem, but what he said is the problem.
Well, now we at least know what stripped all the other planets of their atmosphere. Our little ole planet probably just turned into white dwarf star for a while, radiated really hard, and turned back as if nothing happened :p
I don't understand why you'd think it's a stupid idea; it would only require for thermodynamics, the most foundational and solidly understood _anything_ in science, to just magically freaking work exactly back-asswards from how it necessarily has to work. You know, like cooking a pizza by shoving it in a freezer, or making ice by tossing water into a locomotive's furnace. _What's wrong with that?_ Apart from, y'know, everything?
No you need to learn what an insulation barrier is. The only evidence for Magic Evolution, are all examples of Adaptations, within the Chromosome Family Kinds. You have to give evidence that proves the Adaptations accumulate, to transcend the Chromosome Boundaries. Establishing that the Magic Evolution principle, this path of transformation, is more advantageous for Survival, than just adapting, within the Chromosome Boundaries. Please show conclusive evidence that excludes nonsense and imagination from Magic Evolution, if you can? And if you can’t, will you admit that Magic Evolution isn’t Real Science and is in fact a Religious Belief? The Law of Self Evident Craftsmanship proves Intelligent Design. True Science proves Design in Creation and God. The preponderance of all knowable evidence, overwhelmingly proves that God, is the only parsimonious explanation and Magic Evolution is nonsense + imagination. Messages and Machinery, inbuilt within Life, the Genetic Codes, and Automations throughout Nature, the Cosmos and the fabric of the Universe, all prove Design, over Magic Evolution. The interdependence of all things, on manifold layers and levels, proves Design, over Magic Evolution. All without the shadow of reasonable doubt.

Creationists: fortunately, the nuclear reactor down the road is keeping my lights on. Creationists: radioactive decay constants are off by six orders of magnitude.
I work in nuclear power and previously worked in nuclear waste management, which is why I take this drivel about "accelerated nuclear decay" personally. These guys are ignorant of how ignorant they are. I didn't realize my multi-billion dollar industry could eliminate its cobalt, cesium, and trans-uranic waste products in minutes by simply praying to god.
@@donquickoats They postulate a period when the nuclear background radiation was millions of times the present rate, which would have obliterated all, or almost all, life.
I think it's more than just liquifying; the planet would turn into plasma if they were correct. It's a good thing they're wrong on literally everything.
I'm honestly staggered by the suggestion that Earth spewed all the rock and water material to account for all the asteroids and comets in the solar system and for all the impacts with all of our celestial neighbors. I mean, I know they don't understand this, but how fast do they expect these rocks would be spewed out into space? At least 11km/s (Earth escape velocity), we can say that with certainty, and actually it would be a bit faster still because they're starting off with a heavier Earth, but if we're talking about slinging things way out into the solar system in one go.... They're casually suggesting that Earth just shat out 15-20 km/s boulders (remember, they need to populate the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, too) that then, in many cases, settle into fairly circular-ish orbits all by themselves. That's not even creationism, anymore, it's straight up soft science fiction!
@@DavidEllis94 its genuinely hilarious how almost all the proofs here would cause the earth to explode with an unfathomable amount of energy, and then they go and suggest that earth did that very thing. Without justifying how it's still in one piece
AIG's statement of faith: "No apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field of study, including science, history, and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture obtained by historical-grammatical interpretation." That says it all!
Having more difficulty discerning the word young in young Earth creationism, whether it refers to their model of the Earth's age or the youth that are getting caught up in this. My favorite part was heat being re-absorbed into the heat. That was gold.
Your ark video was my introduction to your channel after Paulogia featured you on one of his Ham and Egg videos. Since then I've very much enjoyed all your content related to YEC and other science topics. Keep up the great work!
I love both of your amazing take downs of YEC pseudoscience and your human origins along other scientific related vids. Can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store for your channel.
YEC and flat earthers are on the same wavelength. They both encounter a problem and they both just say "If this one thing were true, it could solve the problem, therefore the problem is solved."
"Am I paranoid? Hopefully!" That is a great line and a very good point. I hope that no one in government would actually try to force this branch of pseudoscience down the publics throat, but these past few years have taught me to never underestimate how far the religious people will go.
How far they will go? In 2010, I wrote a letter to the editor supporting the teaching of evolution in the public schools science classrooms, and denouncing the attempt to force "Creation Science" instead of science. A couple of days after it was published, my parents called us over to their house and thoroughly tried to ream me out. They said that all of their "Good Christian Friends" had ordered them to "Shut him up!", they'd been threatened, and that all of the people in their church were outraged at what I'd written (a putatively liberal mainstream church). They also informed me that I'd been preached against in at least one of the local megachurches in the Sunday morning sermon. Four days after that (letter published Sunday morning and visited folks on Monday), I woke to one of our neighbors pounding on our door - my home laboratory/electronics workshop (where I processed samples for analysis and worked on inventions) on fire. The fire fighters who came all (except for the lieutenant) said that the fire was all wrong - it was way too hot and smelled strange - and that was after I'd told them the sort of things I had in my shop/lab. The Lieutenant and fire department claimed "bad wiring", but changed it to "unknown cause" when I fought with them and explained in detail why their theory was all wrong and didn't fit the facts. The fire department for this area would not consider arson, however - no matter what evidence and other info I related to them. (A couple of years I found evidence that they'd also tried to torch my tool shed, but that failed.) I should mention that there were strong indications that the lieutenant in question was a militant Bible-pounder type, and they dominate this area. That fire destroyed many thousands of dollars worth of equipment that I'd purchased as junk and fixed up over the years, plus rare manuals and parts catalogs and a stockpile of useful parts, and several amateur radios that I was working on. They're getting more and more violent, and I've had neighbors fuss over our fence at me, because I wouldn't accept young earth creationism. We've also had kitties poisoned (probable - couldn't get an investigation started) because I dared defend minorities, the homeless and very poor, and the infirm/disabled and denounced the treatment that I'd witnessed being given to people in those categories. (We have several kitty-shaped holes in our hearts and still think of them often.) I've also had many death threats from young earthers, and was internet stalked for months in 2005-2006 because I said that one could still be Christian and accept that evolution was fact by a team of Good Christians led by a (violently) militant fundamentalist Christian and a preacher of a mid-sized militant fundamentalist church. People are warning me regularly that I need to move away from here because I am not one of those young earthers, and the people around here know it.
@@RedHeart64 No “love thy neighbour” like Christians ‘loving’ their neighbours. No Good Samaritan … probably that was the reason the Samaritans were despised and distrusted. But do advocate for religious creation in school: TFS and IPU are just right for that, Jedi is another interesting religion, Muslim theology is as valid as Christian theology… and the Satanic Temple (which believes in no god nor satan) is also not a bad idea … they love to help separating church and state …
Ideologues will always jump on opportunities for power grabs. Whether they're explicitly religious or nominally secular. Charismatic predators get people riled up and send them at any potential "enemy". Gets the bastards power, and lots of it. Then, of course, the "enemy" the first guy's mob was trying to round up bands together. Suddenly, any "enemy" on the other side gets the same treatment. Innocent people get caught in the crossfire between extremists. Neither "side" is immune to it. Violent skinheads and black bloc rioters are essentially the same phenomenon, just aimed at each other (with the rest of human civilization between them, mind you). The question on my mind is whether we'll wise up to it, or if we'll keep repeating the same mistakes.
@@DudeTheMighty Actually, you are in error. Skinheads operate out of hate and desire for dominance, your use of "Black Block rioters" exposes some racism that you need to think about - it's false equivalence. Let's take the Black Panthers. The reality they suffered under led them to try to defend 'dark-skinned' people from police violence and oppression. They were labeled terrorists, but the purpose of the organization was to protect against terrorism (state and individual). Most of the different 'violent acts' (as reported in the news) turned out to be defensive. The more recent things attributed to BLM? I know that near where we live, there was a BLM rally that I attended (I'm a "brown" person although I really don't fit any of the American cherished stereotypes). It was peaceful, although quite irritating because the Bible-thumpers kept trying to take it over to push their religion (another rally pretty much showed they had succeeded). Anyway, after that first rally there was some violence in another part of town. BLM was blamed, but I found out that it was white supremacists masquerading as BLM, trying to give BLM a bad reputation. There is ALWAYS a "rest of the story", especially when it comes to race issues in this country, and it goes against the dominant ideology (conservative) being pushed, especially by outlets like FOX.
@@advorak8529 I used to have an online friend (I haven't heard from her in years now) who was a Satanist. From her, I learned about some of the various factions in Satanism... including the Satanic Temple and her ideology. The few Satanists I've known (including the friend) were more moral and ethical than all but a handful of Christians I've encountered (there ARE ethical and moral Christians to be found, most of the ones I've met were UUs. Most non-Christians (with a few exceptions) were more moral than the majority of Christians I've had the misfortune to have encountered.) I've learned a lot of the true history of Christianity - and it's completely the opposite of what the more widely accepted version states. For instance (from a source using references back to original source material), I learned that the Christians from early on had tremendous pull with the Roman hierarchy, and many laws were passed at Christian influence that persecuted pagans (and it got worse and worse over the years), with only a few possible exceptions where some more 'in your face' Christians triggered a reaction. The source I'm talking about actually referred to the original published Roman law. The Crusades? Greed-driven, except for the first one where the Muslims asked Christians for help in keeping the Turks from taking over Jerusalem. The Pope of the time found out about the wealth of the Muslims and the Levant, and wanted it. Funny thing is that many of the richest in Europe didn't get their money from Muslims (as a general rule) - they'd pass through kingdoms and areas where Jews were more common, and plundered them on the way (considered a good thing to Christians back then). (Most Christians don't have a clue about Judaism and the history of the "Jewish experience".) I've also read accounts of wars (crusades) started by Christians against other Christians and non-Christians, for instance in the Germanic areas. I know of one instance where the king converted to Christianity, but when pressured he refused to use his power to force the rest of his kingdom to convert. Because he wouldn't use force and violence to make his people convert, a crusade was declared against him and he was eventually deposed (and replaced by a "more Christian Christian", who DID use force and violence). There have been others, and the history of the Inquisition should be required reading for Christianity, which I believe was part of one of those European crusades. I don't have many of the sources written down, as this was just 'side' learning to my main studies and research - ancient diet, ancient technology, and the spread of agriculture (and areas focused on - mainly North America, but with some work concerning the start of agriculture in Asia, the Mediterranean, and North America). I did the reading for my own knowledge, and I admit I should have bookmarked or recorded the sources. (I did do some research regarding modern archaeology in the Levant - titled "The Good, the Bad, and the Bad Science!" for an undergraduate course.)
For years I worked in steam power plants. And this guy has no concept of what 'supercritical water' really is. You take water and heat it up a bit over 705 degrees F (the 'critical point' of water) and you have a 'supercritical fluid'. Just means you can no longer tell steam from liquid forms of water. Nothing 'magical' about it and we've been using/ studying it for decades. Is he somehow saying 700+ degree water creates heavy elements from granite?? lol
Hey Erika, just a small nitpick but Lyell wasn't the person who first proposed an earth that was older than anyone had previously imagined. Lyell was however a major advocate and adopter of of James Hutton's work, who is generally considered first to that realization.
There's probably hundreds if not thousands of people who thought and even possibly wrote about the idea. These are just the ones that were rich and privileged enough to matter.
YECs remind me of those kids during elementary dodgeball who always go into excuse filled fits to explain why they’re not out of the game, despite being hit like 5 times.
Well... "Sitting Down While Displaying Astounding Levels of Willful Ignorance, Acute Misunderstanding and General Conspiracy Nuttiness" isn't as catchy as SFT, I suppose, but it would be accurate.
You missed another flaw in raw matt's layers based on atomic weight proposal. Grant him every aspect of his assumptions and what would you expect to see? The heaviest elements clustered in lower layers. However, the higher atomic number elements (which he labels as denser or heavier) are more prevalent in higher layers where they haven't decayed and are reduced in quantity in lower layers. Not only is his science entirely wrong but his example debunks itself even if you ignore those flaws.
Oh I mean there is the obvious flaw of that's the case in liquid form but when you're talking about solid materials not so much but at the same time it's like exactly like you said great everything and they still prove themselves wrong
I think maybe he actually means that the minerals with uranium would sink lower than the minerals with potassium. So it's not that they are being sorted by the amount of decay that has occurred, they're being sorted by which elements the minerals contain, and it just so happens that the elements that would sink to the bottom also have longer half-lives, and therefore result in older dates. I could be wrong, though - I'm not fluent in Rawese. And that has its own set of problems anyway, so what the heck.
@@origamiswami6272 But that's actually my point. Take two bits of granite, one from 500 million years ago and one from 2 billion years ago. In the older one, more of the heavier elements will have broken down and thus by his logic be lighter than the more recent one, and yet the newer and theoretically heavier sample will be higher in the stratum. The older sample will have less of the heavier elements proportionally to the newer deposit all else being equal.
Why didn't my teachers teach like this? I can actually follow along, any question I have is answered seconds later, it is weirdly kinda fun, Gutsick Gibbon is clearly an actual expert (not a coach teaching science). Maybe I woulda gone to college if I had teachers like this
While these videos are both fun and educational, they are not teaching videos. It is unfortunate that you often have unqualified people teaching science in many high schools, they do not need to be content experts at that level. They have strict guidelines that they must follow and meet some basic criteria that are essential at each level. There is a little more latitude in college courses but they still have to meet some minimal requirements. At the college level, you are more likely to have content expert teaching, but not all content experts are good teachers. These, and videos like this, are great for getting to the nitty gritty that gives you some basic understanding of the arguments, the methods, and the process of evaluating the arguments and information provided. Becoming a content expert, such as Erika, takes years of intense study, sometimes over a decade. Most YEC's try to shortcut the process and have no real understanding of what they are talking about. There are very few exceptions, and some of those are either blatantly lying, or lying to themselves.
As someone who once wanted to become a teacher, let me share with you a bit of insight I earned from my former fellow university students: Teaching is like parenthood. More people _want_ to do it than should ever be considered qualified to. I wanted to Teach English as a Second Language (TESL). A classmate at UQAM once said: "It's raining that you can drink standing up", which is a word for word translation of a French idiom, "Il pleut à boire debout". She spoke with an obvious Quebecois accent (that=dat, you=yiu). I regularly shock people online when they find out I'm a native French speaker. I'm not a teacher. That person probably is. 'Nuff said. I also remember watching a short documentary about teaching in one class and the teacher in the video was also barely competent at English. See previous re: want to do it/considered qualified. I at least recognized I'd be a terrible teacher and dropped out.
Honestly, because of the algorithm, I thought that most of your videos were young Earth creationism videos. When I'm done with this, I'm going to go scour your uploads and watch the fun science videos too. They keep me company
The best one for company is the one about the creationist manga. Or maybe the anti-evolution one with bigfoot. Those bedtime stories lasted me many nights and had me looking forward to hearing more each night.
Omg y'all please don't get me wrong, I recently watched the ones about the chimpanzee stone age and the first chef, I LOVE THE SCIENCE VIDEOS, I just honestly thought (because of the algorithm) that most of her content was YEC dunking. Now I see there's a balance, I'm gonna go binge ☺️
I grew up Catholic, and (nowadays anyway) they tend to not be on the science denial track, so I quite happily learned evolution in school and took the bible as a series of metaphors like we were taught, but kept on believing in god in the general sort of way most people who don't belong to evangelical churches do. It wasn't until this year when I started paying attention to young earth creationists and their arguments that I took a step back and realised just how utterly ludicrous it all is. So thank you for putting out this kind of content that helped even this middle-aged passive believer finally admit that the whole concept is silly and finally relax into atheism.
I also grew up catholic. Funny, it seems that the catholic church I grew up in, at least, seems to have done little damage to my worldview regarding science. I got much the same messages you got. I still struggle with the idea of hell and sin, but all in all, I thank God I wasn't born into a Baptist family. (Joke)
Same for me also. As young as 5-6 I remember them telling me that dinosaurs were gone long before humans arrived. Later, one of my favorite books was "The First Men in the World," a juvenile version of how scientists discovered ancient species of humans. Ironically, I now work in a Catholic school, which teaches evolution and other real science.
@Nathaniel Muller I was. Believe me, it wasn’t fun. But at least I went to a public school that actually taught about evolution. I’m still to broke to live on my own though, so I still have to suffer going to bigoted church.
I was a YEC in my youth. I wish these videos were around in my youth. I've since gotten much better as I learned to question things a lot more critically and realize just how stupid YEC is.

Not just get their ideas into mainstream school science but have it taught over known proven theories that are basically the backbone of most of the rest of science
Read my reply to Phoenix_King_Theo. There was a movement to try to force "Creation Science" into the public schools (here in Florida). My speaking out for science cost me my home laboratory/electronics workshop along with working inventions, amateur radios, and more. We have to pick and choose our fights. If you live in an area like this, trying to stand for real science can be quite dangerous (with some Young Earthers, just not accepting their BS can be dangerous).
@@theultimatereductionist7592 Can you understand the word "Arson"? That happened after my parents were ordered to "Shut him up!" and I'd been preached against BY NAME in one of the local megachurches. It's not the only act of terrorism we've experienced at the hands of the Religious Right.
what they're doing in the meantime is homeschooling their kids so they have complete control of their world views. it's honestly terrifying they have the capital and the privilege to homeschool in the first place in such large numbers (indicates class disparity with public school students) but also demonstrates their dedication to indoctrination.
I love when they prove they are right because all of science didn't jump in and debunk all their points. They are so persecuted that we invented science just to debunk them.

The rocks that were dated to be over 4 billion years old, leading us to the conclusion that that’s also the age of earth, were from space. They cannot have been affected by any of the mechanisms proposed to have accelerated decay due to a flood. Like, in that particular case, those rocks weren’t there.
Amazing that the oil and gas industries use radiometric dating successfully all over the world. Presumably all the rock on earth landed here in the last few thousand years without anyone noticing. How, we ask, do these 'experts' find anything if they don't use the real science in the Bible?
I had to rewind it to the part about North America sinking…oh I mean the continent of the United States, and let my husband listen to it because it sounded so insane.
I hadn’t encountered the phrase “rescue device” before but it seems like an awfully flimsy rhetorical tactic whose purpose is to make it sound like, whenever actual experts deign to take the time to explain the science, it’s because they’re on the ropes and need to “rescue” their position, as opposed to charitably correcting a sophomoric misunderstanding. It’s of a piece with the old ID “teach the controversy” line: an effort to create a false sense of parity, casting themselves as equals debating a live scientific controversy rather than a handful of cranks receiving remedial instruction.
The Great Flood sent by God accelerated nuclear decay without heat buildup, fast forwarded plate tectonics, and gave a machinegun-like rate of space imapcts? What, exactly, was the world supposed to have been flooded with? I have to admit though, I'd love to see a high end movie made out of this year of madness...
Yeah, God was very drunk that year. A simple flood wasn’t good enough; he just had to get fancy tearing atoms apart, hurling rocks into space, and shoving continents into new prettier shapes. Eventually he got bored destroying rock and missed the terror he could invoke in living creatures. Needless to say, none of this episode was relayed to Noah.
I've just reached halfway. I'm tempted to go back and start to record Matt's nonsensical moments, such as 'zycron crystals', 'take a piece of lightning and strike it' and 'a lava' and record them... But my brain is already threatening to escape out my ears in self defence as it is.
THE Invariability of the radioactive decay rates The theoretical foundation for the “constancy of physical phenomenon” comes from the elegant, beautiful, and underappreciated mathematics of Emmy Nöther. Nöther’s theorem asserts that the rules of physics which we know as conservation laws. (eg., the conservations of energy, momentum, and angular momentum, spin, etc.) arise from very specific symmetries. Displacement in time, that the rules of the universe are the same today as they were 1 million years ago or 1 million years into the future, is a type of symmetry that REQUIRES the conservation of energy. Displacements in space, that the laws of physics are the same here as they are in Paris or in halfway across the universe, is another form of symmetry that REQUIRES the conservation of momentum. By the way, it is not widely Appreciate that cosmologists can observationally MEASURE the age of the universe in two, independent ways, ie., 1. by measuring the Hubble constant (ie., The rate at which the universe is expanding) or 2. by measuring the power spectrum of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in the Cosmic Microwave Background. Below is a synopsis of recent comprehensive investigation into the quantification of the Hubble Constant. SHoES project using Type 1a Supernovae data arxiv.org/abs/2112.04510 Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) static1.squarespace.com/static/5df2d0395ce1d42fd6b23c1a/t/5df69e4e1bd90e41f94ee2a4/1576443471234/03-Baryon_Acoustic_Oscillations.pdf It is instructive that these two completely independent approaches to this analysis give answers that agree within about 5% (~68.5 Km/sec-MPC for BAO and ~72.4 Km/sec-Mpc for SHoES project). It is a virtual certainty that, with the spectacularly enhanced resolution & sensitivity of the James Webb Space Telescope, this small discrepancy will be resolved soon.

That guy : «there is no heat problem»... Except that radioactive decay DO generate heat, and impossibly accelerating it WILL generate that heat quicker, leading to a boiling lava Earth. There IS a case where radioactive decay rates may change : In close proximity to a magnetar. In an area where the magnetic field is so strong that it deforms the nuclear nucleus. A magnetic field that is well over 6 orders of magnitude stronger than one that will prevent any chemical reaction. There is that tree that is 50 000 years old somewhere out there in Africa that is older than the oldest age that those young Earth creationists pretend the Earth to be. Mattman «reasons» like a drum. A drum with a teared skin and cracked body.
It’s almost like they basically turned their model into one in which earth gets targeted by a bunch of Death Stars. Like, an entire galactic supercluster of Death Stars.
Additionally, watching you tear apart Young Palpatine's nonsensical, dishonest, disingenuous arguments with the occasional (yet not ad hominem) insults sprinkled on top is incredibly cathartic. Thank you for showing that there are still lovely reasonable people around willing to tell stupid people to stop spreading misinformation.
I don't think "evolutionary" means what he thinks it means. He keeps using it as a swearword, because he's dumb enough to think that evolution is bad. It can't be all that bad, since it's how we got here.
Yeah. It’s like he doesn’t realize evolution is entirely unrelated to the Earth being old. Earth being older than 6000 years is necessary for evolution to occur, but evolution is not a necessary conclusion of the Earth being old. We believe it for other, unrelated reasons. One fight at a time, buddy.
Just thought of something. These clowns keep going on about "creation week" & assert it as fact. Given the dating methods available to them & those they 'believe' in, it should be an absolute cakewalk to pinpoint when that "creation week" occurred with an error margin of +/- 24 hours.
meh, somebody could have done research - thats what the major YEC institutes used to do, right? and that research might've made them think they had refuting results.
"Zy-cron crystals?" "Piece of lightning?" "Nuclear synsesis?" "Radioactive decay predicted by *evolution*?" "The continent of the United States?" Yeah. Real science nerds.
Way to put spoilers in the thumbnail. I was excited to see if these people finally debunked reality and the thumbnail just says "No" giving away the answer. (xD)
Oh my gosh. Did Matt literally say that conventional science think that everything started as uranium? Like, the entire universe was just this giant green rock? 😂😂😂😂

@@ChristopherSadlowski Sadly, I wasn’t on the science side of things. I was working on government relations in DC for a new nuclear waste remediation technology that was under development. That’s about all I can say.
Personally, I like debunking videos (not only YEC), because while explaining how something works you also explain how it doesn't work and what kind of mistakes one can happen in the analysis of something (be the mistakes genuine or rooted in dogmatic beliefs) I feel like I understood topics better after watching a debunking video than watching a video that simply explains the respective topics
The way to check any of these creationists is to put an integral calculus equation on the screen and say solve this . That should get rid of most of them
Also, minor point: Raw Matt is not a former breatharian. Former breatharians are deceased because they starve to death and die of malnutrition and starvation which is how they die. _Pretend-breatharian_ would be the correct descriptor for Raw "Everything I Say And Do Is False" Matt. Whether or not he's a former anything is irrelevant at that point, but I'm of the opinion that someone never stops being a fraud even if they move on to a different scam.
@@leeshackelford7517 I mean... I wasn't trying to be funny or clever... "breatharians" don't exist. There's just idiots who think it's real but who constantly find excuses to "eat socially", "cheat" a little, or drink sweet fruit juice by the gallon to sate their hunger, meaning they eat same as everybody else, or _actual_ breatharians who stop eating and then die, which does happen. Raw Matt's big on working out, if I'm remembering right? If he were actually one of those idiots at any point, he'd have collapsed in a heap within hours and died. It's just another grift.
Hi sorry I use the improper pronunciation and for whatever reason I have a really hard time with saying the correct enunciation. And honestly the correct enunciation just doesn't sound very good to me and I think the incorrect one sounds better.

Have you ever considered making videos looking into the politics side of young earth creationism? Like, the kind of pull that creationists have had in government, and how creationists have influenced politics, as well as how politics have influenced them? Would be a very different kind from what you usually make, but it could be really interesting, and I think it’s very important
Raw Matt starting off with an erroneous statement - and thus fulfilling all of our expectations. Well done Matt. Edit: The more this went on, the more my impression was that Matt was just reading something written by someone else. There are so many things he stumbles over as he makes his various claims that he is most likely unfamiliar with the material. Have a merry New Year Erika.
Fantastic - Thanks Gibbon!!! Just a few comments to expand on the silliness of the twiddles. Radioactive decay of a nucleus is not in any way altered by its environment. Whether they are atomic (with full complement of electrons) or fully ionized (no electrons), part of a hot plasma (stellar center temperatures) or in some high density state (stellar center densities) has no effect on the decay rate. At combined high temperature *and* density you might have nuclear reactions that transform your nucleus into another nucleus that is either stable or has another decay rate, but the decay rate of each nuclear species is still the same. And lightning is not a Z-pinch. The latter pinches a plasma at the Z-axis of the experiment (collapsing a cylindrical geometry plasma on its axis), creating a very high density *and* temperature plasma - lightning (as they envision creating by piezo electric effects) would form a high temperature, ambient density (and fast expanding) plasma and you won't have any nuclear fusion or fission taking place there. Lightning does produce gamma-rays which can knock out single nucleons (neutrons or protons) in ambient atoms of the air, but no fusion to produce heavier elements. So there 😉
The funny thing about YEC believing the Bible tells us the Earth is 6,000 years old, is that it doesn't say that anywhere in the Bible. The 6,000 year figure was arrived at by someone adding up various time periods and ages of people and coming to the conclusion that it was created around 4,000 BC.
True. Of course, my comment was humorous. Actually, I think ancient civilizations, like Atlantis, probably DID exist, and maybe they DID develop controlled fusion that produced useful energy....but speculative pre-history of what may have been, isn't the same as the absurd babblings of Young Earthers.
Totally underrated moment at 6:03 when the underlying music is “it’s getting hot in here” I’ve been giggling about it for like three minutes and watched the same bit
Erica, I want you to know that I appreciate both your purely scientific education content AND Debunking YEC content. You're an absolutely legendary science communicator in my book (which, incidentally, does not include blue hyperlinks) and I want to ask: as someone with virtually no skills in time management... Are you a sorceress of some description? Do you have access to the time stone? I refuse to believe you can find time to do all of the things you do by "planning ahead". Everyone knows that's a nonsensical phrase anyway, like "6000 year old earth" or "Kent Hovind's Brain".
My favorite parts of these dubunks are the educational parts and 9n top of that it is nice to have some laughs in betweem. Also that being said I find the pure sciencey videos entertaining and sometimes humerous a lot of the time. Shout out to your editor
Erica, excellent video, as usual, but at 21:22 did you say that the temperature would have to increase to "200 degrees Kelvin, which is 13 times hotter than the core of the Sun"? But isn't 200 deg K equal to -73 deg C? Was that just a slip of the tongue? Did you mean to say 200 million deg K? You think the idiots you are criticising are going to pick up on this? It ruins the point you wanted to make. May I suggest you somehow add a correction to the video?
@@DavidSmith-vr1nb Of course they'll know, and I put the word "degrees" (or its abbreviation, "deg") in there so that those who don't possess your knowledge of Physics wouldn't be left wondering what a "Kelvin" is.
Saying "this doesn't make any evolutionary sense", when talking about continental plates is like criticizing a house because it doesn't make any culinary sense.
"Radiation is harmful to people so God couldn't possibly have created it" is one of the most baffling concepts I've ever heard. First off, it kinda flies in the face of the idea that God is an all-powerful being who created everything. And secondly, assuming for a very brief moment that God exists and the Bible depicts true events... dude killed almost all of his creations because they disobeyed him. I have trouble believing that a being like that *wouldn't* create stuff harmful to people.
Regarding the thing with "you can't form heavy elements in a supernova", that's true - not just any supernova, anyway. It only happens in appreciable quantities when neutron stars collide. The supernovas that created those two neutron stars don't produce the preposterous energies needed to form gold and heavier elements. Apparently, our solar system was formed in the intersection of expanding bubbles of debris from two such events. Lucky us, we get shiny baubles and nuclear bombs.
My favorite Creationist Model so far is _"My model accounts for that. My model accounts for everything your model does. I don't HAVE a model. My model predicts that, too."_ .
A change of the radiometric decay rate can also be refuted by using astronomical observations. That´s because the decay rate depends on the strenght of the weak force which is also essential in stellar fusion. But no matter how far the look, the physics in the cosmos looks exactly like back home.
Well, I got my busted pipes capped off, and came back to watch the rest of this while the glue dries, so I'm stopping in go put a comment on, as well, for the care and feeding of the Almighty Algorithm. 🙃 Thanks, Erika, for what you do! ❤️❤️
It's so great that we get more and more science based channels on YT. As YEC, Flerfs and other ideologies are spreading like wildfire it's great to have some counter this mess. Seeing how involved and with much determination some of those people follow their ideology I start to understand how people can get so tangled in their crazy ideas to be willing to provoke a war. Though, it's really sad that at this time and age the civilized world resorted back to such primitive measures. So thank you for your videos and the efford you put into it.
Note: the entire Internet is a series of compters, all linked together and sharing information; the absolutely ridiculous timing necessary for all those computers to function together, is based on atomic clocks. Our understanding of radiometrics is so good, that we base the functionality of the Internet on it. If we want all the separate computer programs to run in the proper sequence, pico-second timing is absolutely necessary. Try to hook up multiple computers that are running at different clock speeds, see how long it will function before total crash. It won't take long for any major program to be out of synch, before it completely bricks the system. If the Internet is working, then YEC is busted. So, the next time you see a YEC video on Ytube; comment on the video that putting it on Ytube...disproves their argument.
So much of what I know about evolution and geology is from YEC debunking videos. To demolish pseudoscience, you need to know the real science, so it's a great way to learn.
Absolutely. As someone with dyslexia, that wasn’t diagnosed until I’d finished my education. I missed out on higher science education. But watching YEC debunking videos (especially Erica’s) has taught me so much that I never knew. It has been incredibly educational!
I have found the flat earth debunk videos useful for the same reason. I knew it but I didn't KNOW it.
Science most certainly does not know everything. But we are intelligent enough to reevaluate and keep looking. Creationists are to stupid or lazy to work at learning. After all they can just blame God. Don't say god is infalible. Thats obviously wrong
Furthermore, the universe is not tuned for life. Life adapts to live in certain environments. The universe over all is quite deadly. We are so insignificant on the cosmic scale as to be invisible. We are not important in the universe to be noticed. Get over yourself.

Tony Reed had a delightful series called "How Young Earth Creationism Taught Me Real Science" that you might also like
Creationists: "If the laws of physics would be slightly different, this universe wouldnt be suitable for life!" (fine tuning argument)
Also creationist: "The laws and the rate of nuclear decay were different."
Yeah or they try to say things like the Moon is receding from the earth this speed so that must mean the Earth is younger than this and it's like no orbital mechanics are really fucking complicated but no they definitely do not indicate that that would be the case in fact the moon's orbit it varies sometimes it's closer sometimes it's farther away and sometimes it's orbit actually ends up having it's average distance reduced over and then it goes back to receding but it's starting closer than it was so it's like
My main gripe with the fine tuning argument is the rather obvious fact that we (as in living things in general) are a _product_ of our environment, which is the very reason why it "fits" us so well. And yeah... if our universe wouldn't be suitable for us, it wouldn't be suitable for us. Like, no shit Sherlock. But a _different_ environment/universe would produce _different_ forms of life and might also include idiots who think that _their_ planet was made just for them.
The argument doesn't even work if you're convinced that no other forms of life are possible. Because there's still the problem that _only_ planets which are suitable for life could possibly _have_ someone on there to propose stupid arguments in the first place. So the _appearance_ of fine tuning is a guaranteed outcome for ANY species* on ANY planet in existence, regardless of the specifics. It would be much more remarkable if DIDN'T looked fine-tuned to us!
*excluding species who aren't pattern-seekers, of course
@@borttorbbq2556 👍 That variation of the moon's orbit seems very logical. The earth's orbit isn't a circle, it's more of an oval. When the earth is at it's farthest point from the sun and the moon is at the opposite side of the earth from the sun it would logically move farther from the earth, when the earth is at it's farthest point from the sun and the moon is between the earth and the sun, the moon would move closer to the earth. Even without education I can see that point makes sense, good point. 👍 (edited for spelling)
@@DowncastParadox 👏
Knee-jerk. Every cult defends itself with knee-jerks. You show them a problem? They reflexively kick out a response, _any_ response, even if it's random gibberish that sounds like what a stupid person thinks smart people sound like. Show them a different problem? _KICK!_ Doesn't matter what, or if it contradicts what they said five seconds ago.
Honestly, it's like coherence is an object and they have no object permanence. I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not exaggerating, either; it's about _having a "response"_ not about whether it has any merit or quality. The oversized asses in the pews don't care, they just want to be patted on the head and told that "it's been taken care of", so it's just about having a knee-jerk noise delivered in an soothing, arrogant tone.
I've seen creationists contradict themselves not just in the same breath _but within a single sentence._ They don't care, they'd never notice, and they wouldn't understand even if you tried to walk them through it. They use words and ideas like confetti or _pocket sand;_ a thing you throw in people's face to distract them. If you've seen those videos of the comedian interviewing Qanon crazies and asking them questions they immediately do a 180 on, you know how it goes. _Ah luv freeze peach! An' ah thunk dem lihbruls shouldn't be allowed to say things ah dun like!_ It's nothing but slogans and catchphrases to them. _Reality itself_ operates on bumper sticker logic; you slap it on and there it is and it doesn't have to mean anything but it's true because you slapped it on.
The older I get, the less it feels like those people are actually human beings. They have more in common with Roombas; move around mindlessly and only good for smearing shit wherever they go.
Offering context for why some of us prefer these videos over the others -- Your videos help me deconstruct religious views I was force-fed (and fearmongered) into from the age of 7 to 14. I imagine a lot of others get a great thrill of catharsis watching these videos imagining smashing their indoctrinators over the head with it in the same manner we were smashed over the head with the Bible.
Evolution is a pseudoscience based on faith.
Agreed here. I was raised Mormon. I left the church when I turned 18. I'm 29 now. *I am still trying to unlearn all the shame and self loathing.*
Yeah, as someone who became a theistic evolutionist, these videos are informational and also help provide context for why previous beliefs were wrong.
Me too. My stepdad introduced my mom and I to YEC when I was like 4 and my moms mom grew up catholic so she bit and I was forced to go to church. I finally said I wasn't gonna go to church anymore and became agnostic for a while and than this year I decided to finally deconstruct

Laughed so hard I nearly soiled myself when he said "the granite itself would reabsorb that heat", proving he either has no clue about how much energy this would be, or he thinks granite doesn't melt (or is this case boil and more). The dufus thinks he solved the problem, but what he said is the problem.
maybe he can't tell the difference between granite, and the Red Hulk in that one cartoon episode?
Well, now we at least know what stripped all the other planets of their atmosphere. Our little ole planet probably just turned into white dwarf star for a while, radiated really hard, and turned back as if nothing happened :p
I don't understand why you'd think it's a stupid idea; it would only require for thermodynamics, the most foundational and solidly understood _anything_ in science, to just magically freaking work exactly back-asswards from how it necessarily has to work. You know, like cooking a pizza by shoving it in a freezer, or making ice by tossing water into a locomotive's furnace. _What's wrong with that?_ Apart from, y'know, everything?
No you need to learn what an insulation barrier is.
The only evidence for Magic Evolution, are all examples of Adaptations, within the Chromosome Family Kinds.
You have to give evidence that proves the Adaptations accumulate, to transcend the Chromosome Boundaries. Establishing that the Magic Evolution principle, this path of transformation, is more advantageous for Survival, than just adapting, within the Chromosome Boundaries.
Please show conclusive evidence that excludes nonsense and imagination from Magic Evolution, if you can? And if you can’t, will you admit that Magic Evolution isn’t Real Science and is in fact a Religious Belief?
The Law of Self Evident Craftsmanship proves Intelligent Design. True Science proves Design in Creation and God.
The preponderance of all knowable evidence, overwhelmingly proves that God, is the only parsimonious explanation and Magic Evolution is nonsense + imagination.
Messages and Machinery, inbuilt within Life, the Genetic Codes, and Automations throughout Nature, the Cosmos and the fabric of the Universe, all prove Design, over Magic Evolution.
The interdependence of all things, on manifold layers and levels, proves Design, over Magic Evolution. All without the shadow of reasonable doubt.

@xXBongoBazookaXx vaporizing maybe?
I'm honestly staggered by the suggestion that Earth spewed all the rock and water material to account for all the asteroids and comets in the solar system and for all the impacts with all of our celestial neighbors.
I mean, I know they don't understand this, but how fast do they expect these rocks would be spewed out into space? At least 11km/s (Earth escape velocity), we can say that with certainty, and actually it would be a bit faster still because they're starting off with a heavier Earth, but if we're talking about slinging things way out into the solar system in one go.... They're casually suggesting that Earth just shat out 15-20 km/s boulders (remember, they need to populate the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, too) that then, in many cases, settle into fairly circular-ish orbits all by themselves.
That's not even creationism, anymore, it's straight up soft science fiction!

YEC and flat earthers are on the same wavelength. They both encounter a problem and they both just say "If this one thing were true, it could solve the problem, therefore the problem is solved."
"Am I paranoid? Hopefully!" That is a great line and a very good point. I hope that no one in government would actually try to force this branch of pseudoscience down the publics throat, but these past few years have taught me to never underestimate how far the religious people will go.
How far they will go? In 2010, I wrote a letter to the editor supporting the teaching of evolution in the public schools science classrooms, and denouncing the attempt to force "Creation Science" instead of science. A couple of days after it was published, my parents called us over to their house and thoroughly tried to ream me out. They said that all of their "Good Christian Friends" had ordered them to "Shut him up!", they'd been threatened, and that all of the people in their church were outraged at what I'd written (a putatively liberal mainstream church). They also informed me that I'd been preached against in at least one of the local megachurches in the Sunday morning sermon.
Four days after that (letter published Sunday morning and visited folks on Monday), I woke to one of our neighbors pounding on our door - my home laboratory/electronics workshop (where I processed samples for analysis and worked on inventions) on fire. The fire fighters who came all (except for the lieutenant) said that the fire was all wrong - it was way too hot and smelled strange - and that was after I'd told them the sort of things I had in my shop/lab. The Lieutenant and fire department claimed "bad wiring", but changed it to "unknown cause" when I fought with them and explained in detail why their theory was all wrong and didn't fit the facts. The fire department for this area would not consider arson, however - no matter what evidence and other info I related to them. (A couple of years I found evidence that they'd also tried to torch my tool shed, but that failed.) I should mention that there were strong indications that the lieutenant in question was a militant Bible-pounder type, and they dominate this area. That fire destroyed many thousands of dollars worth of equipment that I'd purchased as junk and fixed up over the years, plus rare manuals and parts catalogs and a stockpile of useful parts, and several amateur radios that I was working on.
They're getting more and more violent, and I've had neighbors fuss over our fence at me, because I wouldn't accept young earth creationism. We've also had kitties poisoned (probable - couldn't get an investigation started) because I dared defend minorities, the homeless and very poor, and the infirm/disabled and denounced the treatment that I'd witnessed being given to people in those categories. (We have several kitty-shaped holes in our hearts and still think of them often.)
I've also had many death threats from young earthers, and was internet stalked for months in 2005-2006 because I said that one could still be Christian and accept that evolution was fact by a team of Good Christians led by a (violently) militant fundamentalist Christian and a preacher of a mid-sized militant fundamentalist church. People are warning me regularly that I need to move away from here because I am not one of those young earthers, and the people around here know it.
@@RedHeart64 No “love thy neighbour” like Christians ‘loving’ their neighbours.
No Good Samaritan … probably that was the reason the Samaritans were despised and distrusted.
But do advocate for religious creation in school: TFS and IPU are just right for that, Jedi is another interesting religion, Muslim theology is as valid as Christian theology… and the Satanic Temple (which believes in no god nor satan) is also not a bad idea … they love to help separating church and state …
Ideologues will always jump on opportunities for power grabs. Whether they're explicitly religious or nominally secular.
Charismatic predators get people riled up and send them at any potential "enemy". Gets the bastards power, and lots of it.
Then, of course, the "enemy" the first guy's mob was trying to round up bands together. Suddenly, any "enemy" on the other side gets the same treatment. Innocent people get caught in the crossfire between extremists.
Neither "side" is immune to it. Violent skinheads and black bloc rioters are essentially the same phenomenon, just aimed at each other (with the rest of human civilization between them, mind you).
The question on my mind is whether we'll wise up to it, or if we'll keep repeating the same mistakes.
@@DudeTheMighty Actually, you are in error. Skinheads operate out of hate and desire for dominance, your use of "Black Block rioters" exposes some racism that you need to think about - it's false equivalence.
Let's take the Black Panthers. The reality they suffered under led them to try to defend 'dark-skinned' people from police violence and oppression. They were labeled terrorists, but the purpose of the organization was to protect against terrorism (state and individual). Most of the different 'violent acts' (as reported in the news) turned out to be defensive. The more recent things attributed to BLM? I know that near where we live, there was a BLM rally that I attended (I'm a "brown" person although I really don't fit any of the American cherished stereotypes). It was peaceful, although quite irritating because the Bible-thumpers kept trying to take it over to push their religion (another rally pretty much showed they had succeeded). Anyway, after that first rally there was some violence in another part of town. BLM was blamed, but I found out that it was white supremacists masquerading as BLM, trying to give BLM a bad reputation. There is ALWAYS a "rest of the story", especially when it comes to race issues in this country, and it goes against the dominant ideology (conservative) being pushed, especially by outlets like FOX.
@@advorak8529 I used to have an online friend (I haven't heard from her in years now) who was a Satanist. From her, I learned about some of the various factions in Satanism... including the Satanic Temple and her ideology. The few Satanists I've known (including the friend) were more moral and ethical than all but a handful of Christians I've encountered (there ARE ethical and moral Christians to be found, most of the ones I've met were UUs. Most non-Christians (with a few exceptions) were more moral than the majority of Christians I've had the misfortune to have encountered.)
I've learned a lot of the true history of Christianity - and it's completely the opposite of what the more widely accepted version states. For instance (from a source using references back to original source material), I learned that the Christians from early on had tremendous pull with the Roman hierarchy, and many laws were passed at Christian influence that persecuted pagans (and it got worse and worse over the years), with only a few possible exceptions where some more 'in your face' Christians triggered a reaction. The source I'm talking about actually referred to the original published Roman law. The Crusades? Greed-driven, except for the first one where the Muslims asked Christians for help in keeping the Turks from taking over Jerusalem. The Pope of the time found out about the wealth of the Muslims and the Levant, and wanted it. Funny thing is that many of the richest in Europe didn't get their money from Muslims (as a general rule) - they'd pass through kingdoms and areas where Jews were more common, and plundered them on the way (considered a good thing to Christians back then).
(Most Christians don't have a clue about Judaism and the history of the "Jewish experience".)
I've also read accounts of wars (crusades) started by Christians against other Christians and non-Christians, for instance in the Germanic areas. I know of one instance where the king converted to Christianity, but when pressured he refused to use his power to force the rest of his kingdom to convert. Because he wouldn't use force and violence to make his people convert, a crusade was declared against him and he was eventually deposed (and replaced by a "more Christian Christian", who DID use force and violence). There have been others, and the history of the Inquisition should be required reading for Christianity, which I believe was part of one of those European crusades.
I don't have many of the sources written down, as this was just 'side' learning to my main studies and research - ancient diet, ancient technology, and the spread of agriculture (and areas focused on - mainly North America, but with some work concerning the start of agriculture in Asia, the Mediterranean, and North America). I did the reading for my own knowledge, and I admit I should have bookmarked or recorded the sources. (I did do some research regarding modern archaeology in the Levant - titled "The Good, the Bad, and the Bad Science!" for an undergraduate course.)
For years I worked in steam power plants. And this guy has no concept of what 'supercritical water' really is. You take water and heat it up a bit over 705 degrees F (the 'critical point' of water) and you have a 'supercritical fluid'. Just means you can no longer tell steam from liquid forms of water. Nothing 'magical' about it and we've been using/ studying it for decades. Is he somehow saying 700+ degree water creates heavy elements from granite?? lol
I work with low pressure steam boilers.
We get these bad boys pretty hot ourselves. 228F on a good day, even. Pretty much the same as you.
Hey Erika, just a small nitpick but Lyell wasn't the person who first proposed an earth that was older than anyone had previously imagined. Lyell was however a major advocate and adopter of of James Hutton's work, who is generally considered first to that realization.
There's probably hundreds if not thousands of people who thought and even possibly wrote about the idea. These are just the ones that were rich and privileged enough to matter.
YECs remind me of those kids during elementary dodgeball who always go into excuse filled fits to explain why they’re not out of the game, despite being hit like 5 times.
Well... "Sitting Down While Displaying Astounding Levels of Willful Ignorance, Acute Misunderstanding and General Conspiracy Nuttiness" isn't as catchy as SFT, I suppose, but it would be accurate.
Stalling for tyrants
He’s just following the time-tested rule that any channel or username with the word “truth” in it is actually neck-deep in lies.
You missed another flaw in raw matt's layers based on atomic weight proposal. Grant him every aspect of his assumptions and what would you expect to see? The heaviest elements clustered in lower layers. However, the higher atomic number elements (which he labels as denser or heavier) are more prevalent in higher layers where they haven't decayed and are reduced in quantity in lower layers. Not only is his science entirely wrong but his example debunks itself even if you ignore those flaws.
Oh I mean there is the obvious flaw of that's the case in liquid form but when you're talking about solid materials not so much but at the same time it's like exactly like you said great everything and they still prove themselves wrong
I think maybe he actually means that the minerals with uranium would sink lower than the minerals with potassium. So it's not that they are being sorted by the amount of decay that has occurred, they're being sorted by which elements the minerals contain, and it just so happens that the elements that would sink to the bottom also have longer half-lives, and therefore result in older dates.
I could be wrong, though - I'm not fluent in Rawese. And that has its own set of problems anyway, so what the heck.
@@origamiswami6272 But that's actually my point. Take two bits of granite, one from 500 million years ago and one from 2 billion years ago. In the older one, more of the heavier elements will have broken down and thus by his logic be lighter than the more recent one, and yet the newer and theoretically heavier sample will be higher in the stratum. The older sample will have less of the heavier elements proportionally to the newer deposit all else being equal.
Why didn't my teachers teach like this? I can actually follow along, any question I have is answered seconds later, it is weirdly kinda fun, Gutsick Gibbon is clearly an actual expert (not a coach teaching science).
Maybe I woulda gone to college if I had teachers like this
While these videos are both fun and educational, they are not teaching videos. It is unfortunate that you often have unqualified people teaching science in many high schools, they do not need to be content experts at that level. They have strict guidelines that they must follow and meet some basic criteria that are essential at each level. There is a little more latitude in college courses but they still have to meet some minimal requirements. At the college level, you are more likely to have content expert teaching, but not all content experts are good teachers. These, and videos like this, are great for getting to the nitty gritty that gives you some basic understanding of the arguments, the methods, and the process of evaluating the arguments and information provided. Becoming a content expert, such as Erika, takes years of intense study, sometimes over a decade. Most YEC's try to shortcut the process and have no real understanding of what they are talking about. There are very few exceptions, and some of those are either blatantly lying, or lying to themselves.
As someone who once wanted to become a teacher, let me share with you a bit of insight I earned from my former fellow university students:
Teaching is like parenthood. More people _want_ to do it than should ever be considered qualified to.
I wanted to Teach English as a Second Language (TESL). A classmate at UQAM once said: "It's raining that you can drink standing up", which is a word for word translation of a French idiom, "Il pleut à boire debout". She spoke with an obvious Quebecois accent (that=dat, you=yiu). I regularly shock people online when they find out I'm a native French speaker. I'm not a teacher. That person probably is. 'Nuff said.
I also remember watching a short documentary about teaching in one class and the teacher in the video was also barely competent at English. See previous re: want to do it/considered qualified. I at least recognized I'd be a terrible teacher and dropped out.
Honestly, because of the algorithm, I thought that most of your videos were young Earth creationism videos. When I'm done with this, I'm going to go scour your uploads and watch the fun science videos too. They keep me company
Her science stuff is great to binge!
Her videos are very informative
Make sure you watch the one about dog domestication and what it did for human evolution. :)
The best one for company is the one about the creationist manga. Or maybe the anti-evolution one with bigfoot. Those bedtime stories lasted me many nights and had me looking forward to hearing more each night.
Omg y'all please don't get me wrong, I recently watched the ones about the chimpanzee stone age and the first chef, I LOVE THE SCIENCE VIDEOS, I just honestly thought (because of the algorithm) that most of her content was YEC dunking. Now I see there's a balance, I'm gonna go binge ☺️
I grew up Catholic, and (nowadays anyway) they tend to not be on the science denial track, so I quite happily learned evolution in school and took the bible as a series of metaphors like we were taught, but kept on believing in god in the general sort of way most people who don't belong to evangelical churches do. It wasn't until this year when I started paying attention to young earth creationists and their arguments that I took a step back and realised just how utterly ludicrous it all is. So thank you for putting out this kind of content that helped even this middle-aged passive believer finally admit that the whole concept is silly and finally relax into atheism.
I also grew up catholic. Funny, it seems that the catholic church I grew up in, at least, seems to have done little damage to my worldview regarding science. I got much the same messages you got.
I still struggle with the idea of hell and sin, but all in all, I thank God I wasn't born into a Baptist family. (Joke)
Same for me also. As young as 5-6 I remember them telling me that dinosaurs were gone long before humans arrived. Later, one of my favorite books was "The First Men in the World," a juvenile version of how scientists discovered ancient species of humans. Ironically, I now work in a Catholic school, which teaches evolution and other real science.
@Nathaniel Muller I was. Believe me, it wasn’t fun. But at least I went to a public school that actually taught about evolution. I’m still to broke to live on my own though, so I still have to suffer going to bigoted church.
I was a YEC in my youth. I wish these videos were around in my youth.
I've since gotten much better as I learned to question things a lot more critically and realize just how stupid YEC is.
Those who defy their Creator are the fools.
The only evidence for Magic Evolution, are all examples of Adaptations, within the Chromosome Family Kinds.
You have to give evidence that proves the Adaptations accumulate, to transcend the Chromosome Boundaries. Establishing that the Magic Evolution principle, this path of transformation, is more advantageous for Survival, than just adapting, within the Chromosome Boundaries.
Please show conclusive evidence that excludes nonsense and imagination from Magic Evolution, if you can? And if you can’t, will you admit that Magic Evolution isn’t Real Science and is in fact a Religious Belief?
The Law of Self Evident Craftsmanship proves Intelligent Design. True Science proves Design in Creation and God.
The preponderance of all knowable evidence, overwhelmingly proves that God, is the only parsimonious explanation and Magic Evolution is nonsense + imagination.
Messages and Machinery, inbuilt within Life, the Genetic Codes, and Automations throughout Nature, the Cosmos and the fabric of the Universe, all prove Design, over Magic Evolution.
The interdependence of all things, on manifold layers and levels, proves Design, over Magic Evolution. All without the shadow of reasonable doubt.
Magic Mutations, Genetic Grift, Allele Shifery and Artificial Eliminations, just don’t cut the mustard. But I admire your *Faith* in your Magic Evolution Religion.

The danger of YEC is that those morons want to get their ideas into mainstream school science. Pushing back is an imperative.
Not just get their ideas into mainstream school science but have it taught over known proven theories that are basically the backbone of most of the rest of science
Read my reply to Phoenix_King_Theo. There was a movement to try to force "Creation Science" into the public schools (here in Florida). My speaking out for science cost me my home laboratory/electronics workshop along with working inventions, amateur radios, and more.
We have to pick and choose our fights. If you live in an area like this, trying to stand for real science can be quite dangerous (with some Young Earthers, just not accepting their BS can be dangerous).

@@theultimatereductionist7592 Can you understand the word "Arson"?
That happened after my parents were ordered to "Shut him up!" and I'd been preached against BY NAME in one of the local megachurches.
It's not the only act of terrorism we've experienced at the hands of the Religious Right.
what they're doing in the meantime is homeschooling their kids so they have complete control of their world views. it's honestly terrifying they have the capital and the privilege to homeschool in the first place in such large numbers (indicates class disparity with public school students) but also demonstrates their dedication to indoctrination.
I love when they prove they are right because all of science didn't jump in and debunk all their points. They are so persecuted that we invented science just to debunk them.

The rocks that were dated to be over 4 billion years old, leading us to the conclusion that that’s also the age of earth, were from space. They cannot have been affected by any of the mechanisms proposed to have accelerated decay due to a flood. Like, in that particular case, those rocks weren’t there.
Amazing that the oil and gas industries use radiometric dating successfully all over the world. Presumably all the rock on earth landed here in the last few thousand years without anyone noticing. How, we ask, do these 'experts' find anything if they don't use the real science in the Bible?
No, no, that’s why all the space rocks were expelled from the earth. 😂 this is more word salad than a theory.
Sounds like Mattman has solved the "Helium problem" by inhaling all of it.
I had to rewind it to the part about North America sinking…oh I mean the continent of the United States, and let my husband listen to it because it sounded so insane.
I did a double-take there, too.
I'm sure he thinks the United States is a continent, or maybe just the only place that matters.
I hadn’t encountered the phrase “rescue device” before but it seems like an awfully flimsy rhetorical tactic whose purpose is to make it sound like, whenever actual experts deign to take the time to explain the science, it’s because they’re on the ropes and need to “rescue” their position, as opposed to charitably correcting a sophomoric misunderstanding. It’s of a piece with the old ID “teach the controversy” line: an effort to create a false sense of parity, casting themselves as equals debating a live scientific controversy rather than a handful of cranks receiving remedial instruction.
The Great Flood sent by God accelerated nuclear decay without heat buildup, fast forwarded plate tectonics, and gave a machinegun-like rate of space imapcts? What, exactly, was the world supposed to have been flooded with?
I have to admit though, I'd love to see a high end movie made out of this year of madness...
Yeah, God was very drunk that year. A simple flood wasn’t good enough; he just had to get fancy tearing atoms apart, hurling rocks into space, and shoving continents into new prettier shapes. Eventually he got bored destroying rock and missed the terror he could invoke in living creatures. Needless to say, none of this episode was relayed to Noah.
Such a great video. I appreciate the humor and fun of the debunking videos, and I love the more focused science vids.
I've just reached halfway. I'm tempted to go back and start to record Matt's nonsensical moments, such as 'zycron crystals', 'take a piece of lightning and strike it' and 'a lava' and record them... But my brain is already threatening to escape out my ears in self defence as it is.
First time on your channel. Nice skulls! Thumbs up for that alone.
Around 13 minutes, he asserted that the Big Bang produced pure Uranium. I could not suppress a verbal response.
THE Invariability of the radioactive decay rates
The theoretical foundation for the “constancy of physical phenomenon” comes from the elegant, beautiful, and underappreciated mathematics of Emmy Nöther.
Nöther’s theorem asserts that the rules of physics which we know as conservation laws. (eg., the conservations of energy, momentum, and angular momentum, spin, etc.) arise from very specific symmetries.
Displacement in time, that the rules of the universe are the same today as they were 1 million years ago or 1 million years into the future, is a type of symmetry that REQUIRES the conservation of energy.
Displacements in space, that the laws of physics are the same here as they are in Paris or in halfway across the universe, is another form of symmetry that REQUIRES the conservation of momentum.
By the way, it is not widely Appreciate that cosmologists can observationally MEASURE the age of the universe in two, independent ways, ie.,
1. by measuring the Hubble constant (ie., The rate at which the universe is expanding) or
2. by measuring the power spectrum of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in the Cosmic Microwave Background.
Below is a synopsis of recent comprehensive investigation into the quantification of the Hubble Constant.
SHoES project using Type 1a Supernovae data

It is instructive that these two completely independent approaches to this analysis give answers that agree within about 5% (~68.5 Km/sec-MPC for BAO and ~72.4 Km/sec-Mpc for SHoES project).
It is a virtual certainty that, with the spectacularly enhanced resolution & sensitivity of the James Webb Space Telescope, this small discrepancy will be resolved soon.
Observational confirmation of the consistency of radioactive decay
From Luminosity curve of SN1987A
Radioactive decay of 56 Ni to 56 Co (6.10 ≈ ±0.02 days) & 56Co to 56 Fe (77.3 days) is SAME today as it was 168,000 years ago. As is 56Fe (stable).
So, radioactive decay has PROVABLY not changed in last 168,000 years.!
Observational data (note: this Luminosity info started traveling to earth 168,000 years ago):

Image text: _“Much of the light curve’s energy is provided by radioactive decay. The radioactive decay of 56Ni through its daughters 56Co to 56Fe produces gamma-ray photons that are absorbed and dominate the heating and the luminosity of the ejecta. Energy for the peak of the light curve was provided by the decay of 56Ni to 56Co (half-life of six days) with energy for the latter light curve in particular fit very closely with the 77.3 day half-life of 56Co to 56Fe.”_
HalfLives Today:
56Ni: = 6.077 DAYS (also stated as 6.10 ≈ ±0.02 days)
56 Co: = 77.27 days
Additional confirmation(recorded luminosity for last ~36 years) of isotope 44Ti: = ~60 years
HalfLives 168,000 years ago:
56Ni: = ~6 DAYS
56 Co: = ~77 days

That guy : «there is no heat problem»... Except that radioactive decay DO generate heat, and impossibly accelerating it WILL generate that heat quicker, leading to a boiling lava Earth.
There IS a case where radioactive decay rates may change : In close proximity to a magnetar. In an area where the magnetic field is so strong that it deforms the nuclear nucleus. A magnetic field that is well over 6 orders of magnitude stronger than one that will prevent any chemical reaction.
There is that tree that is 50 000 years old somewhere out there in Africa that is older than the oldest age that those young Earth creationists pretend the Earth to be.

It’s almost like they basically turned their model into one in which earth gets targeted by a bunch of Death Stars. Like, an entire galactic supercluster of Death Stars.
Additionally, watching you tear apart Young Palpatine's nonsensical, dishonest, disingenuous arguments with the occasional (yet not ad hominem) insults sprinkled on top is incredibly cathartic. Thank you for showing that there are still lovely reasonable people around willing to tell stupid people to stop spreading misinformation.
I don't think "evolutionary" means what he thinks it means. He keeps using it as a swearword, because he's dumb enough to think that evolution is bad. It can't be all that bad, since it's how we got here.
Yeah. It’s like he doesn’t realize evolution is entirely unrelated to the Earth being old. Earth being older than 6000 years is necessary for evolution to occur, but evolution is not a necessary conclusion of the Earth being old. We believe it for other, unrelated reasons. One fight at a time, buddy.
Oh my young friend you are awesome. I laugh, I cry, I learn. But mostly I laugh. Thanks! Keep doing what you do, please!

A molecule is at least two atoms bonded together. So helium is an Atom not a Molecule.
The pain that this butchering of physics causes me by creationists cannot be understated.

Personally, I like debunking videos (not only YEC), because while explaining how something works you also explain how it doesn't work and what kind of mistakes one can happen in the analysis of something (be the mistakes genuine or rooted in dogmatic beliefs)
I feel like I understood topics better after watching a debunking video than watching a video that simply explains the respective topics
The way to check any of these creationists is to put an integral calculus equation on the screen and say solve this . That should get rid of most of them
This is not just fun and funny. This is a public service. People really believe content like theirs!
Keep these videos coming. Great job!
Also, minor point: Raw Matt is not a former breatharian. Former breatharians are deceased because they starve to death and die of malnutrition and starvation which is how they die. _Pretend-breatharian_ would be the correct descriptor for Raw "Everything I Say And Do Is False" Matt. Whether or not he's a former anything is irrelevant at that point, but I'm of the opinion that someone never stops being a fraud even if they move on to a different scam.

@@leeshackelford7517 I mean... I wasn't trying to be funny or clever... "breatharians" don't exist. There's just idiots who think it's real but who constantly find excuses to "eat socially", "cheat" a little, or drink sweet fruit juice by the gallon to sate their hunger, meaning they eat same as everybody else, or _actual_ breatharians who stop eating and then die, which does happen.
Raw Matt's big on working out, if I'm remembering right? If he were actually one of those idiots at any point, he'd have collapsed in a heap within hours and died.
It's just another grift.
Your meaning was clear....I was just liking the clarity
I prefer the term failed breatharian. Him still walking around is a sign of his failure, just like he failed at all his other endeavors.
OMG. Nucular just pisses me off.

Hi sorry I use the improper pronunciation and for whatever reason I have a really hard time with saying the correct enunciation. And honestly the correct enunciation just doesn't sound very good to me and I think the incorrect one sounds better.
@@borttorbbq2556 Just take the word "unclear" and swap the first two letters. That was a running joke in school.
That Wed Nes Day thing also seems to he going through some gyrations....former zoomie lab worker
@@borttorbbq2556 It's fine to admit that you may struggle, but you lost me when you went on the offensive against the correct pronunciation. Your final sentence there could be boiled down to "Wrong is better than correct, because I don't like the sound".
It could be an age or location thing. I'm old and grew up hearing nu que lar. I also mispronounce iron, and February.
The surface of _Planet Mandalore_ wasn’t turned to glass by _The Empire!_
It actually suffered from the realization that it was _A Young Mandalore_ and *This is The Way*
56:16: If it was a different type of water, a different type of wood used for the ark, a different type of animals stored on the ark, and Noah and his family were a different type of humans, some of the problems with the flood story could be resolved. What type, you ask? Could be - fictional?
Have you ever considered making videos looking into the politics side of young earth creationism? Like, the kind of pull that creationists have had in government, and how creationists have influenced politics, as well as how politics have influenced them? Would be a very different kind from what you usually make, but it could be really interesting, and I think it’s very important
Raw Matt starting off with an erroneous statement - and thus fulfilling all of our expectations. Well done Matt.
Edit: The more this went on, the more my impression was that Matt was just reading something written by someone else. There are so many things he stumbles over as he makes his various claims that he is most likely unfamiliar with the material.
Have a merry New Year Erika.
Fantastic - Thanks Gibbon!!!
Just a few comments to expand on the silliness of the twiddles.
Radioactive decay of a nucleus is not in any way altered by its environment. Whether they are atomic (with full complement of electrons) or fully ionized (no electrons), part of a hot plasma (stellar center temperatures) or in some high density state (stellar center densities) has no effect on the decay rate. At combined high temperature *and* density you might have nuclear reactions that transform your nucleus into another nucleus that is either stable or has another decay rate, but the decay rate of each nuclear species is still the same.
And lightning is not a Z-pinch. The latter pinches a plasma at the Z-axis of the experiment (collapsing a cylindrical geometry plasma on its axis), creating a very high density *and* temperature plasma - lightning (as they envision creating by piezo electric effects) would form a high temperature, ambient density (and fast expanding) plasma and you won't have any nuclear fusion or fission taking place there. Lightning does produce gamma-rays which can knock out single nucleons (neutrons or protons) in ambient atoms of the air, but no fusion to produce heavier elements.
So there 😉
The funny thing about YEC believing the Bible tells us the Earth is 6,000 years old, is that it doesn't say that anywhere in the Bible. The 6,000 year figure was arrived at by someone adding up various time periods and ages of people and coming to the conclusion that it was created around 4,000 BC.
It also says to love your fellow humans. I seriously doubt most fundamentals actually read the book.
I’m going to subscribe to your content. Keep it coming! I’ll keep on clicking. 😊
Brilliant video! Always good to see more good science taking down baseless myths. Cheers!
"...We had nuclear fusion going on..." Wow! They actually developed controlled fusion?
Not only that but it was of Uranium
@@jansalomin WOW! When two U nuclei fuse, the resulting atom is "off the chart"! (Periodic, that is....)
I know I’m late to the party, but controlled fusion isn’t that difficult, the problem is getting out more energy than you put in.
True. Of course, my comment was humorous. Actually, I think ancient civilizations, like Atlantis, probably DID exist, and maybe they DID develop controlled fusion that produced useful energy....but speculative pre-history of what may have been, isn't the same as the absurd babblings of Young Earthers.
Totally underrated moment at 6:03 when the underlying music is “it’s getting hot in here” I’ve been giggling about it for like three minutes and watched the same bit
Thanks Erika! I love these YEC debunk vids. Have a happy new year!

Erica, I want you to know that I appreciate both your purely scientific education content AND Debunking YEC content. You're an absolutely legendary science communicator in my book (which, incidentally, does not include blue hyperlinks) and I want to ask: as someone with virtually no skills in time management... Are you a sorceress of some description? Do you have access to the time stone? I refuse to believe you can find time to do all of the things you do by "planning ahead". Everyone knows that's a nonsensical phrase anyway, like "6000 year old earth" or "Kent Hovind's Brain".
My favorite parts of these dubunks are the educational parts and 9n top of that it is nice to have some laughs in betweem. Also that being said I find the pure sciencey videos entertaining and sometimes humerous a lot of the time. Shout out to your editor
Erica, excellent video, as usual, but at 21:22 did you say that the temperature would have to increase to "200 degrees Kelvin, which is 13 times hotter than the core of the Sun"? But isn't 200 deg K equal to -73 deg C? Was that just a slip of the tongue? Did you mean to say 200 million deg K? You think the idiots you are criticising are going to pick up on this? It ruins the point you wanted to make. May I suggest you somehow add a correction to the video?
The idiots probably don't even know what it means (also it's not "degrees Kelvin", it's just "Kelvin").
@@DavidSmith-vr1nb Of course they'll know, and I put the word "degrees" (or its abbreviation, "deg") in there so that those who don't possess your knowledge of Physics wouldn't be left wondering what a "Kelvin" is.
Saying "this doesn't make any evolutionary sense", when talking about continental plates is like criticizing a house because it doesn't make any culinary sense.
Didn't SuperDog come from Zikron? 17:55 I like how Matt corrects "nookyaler" to "nuclear" mid-word. Too bad he forgot.
"Radiation is harmful to people so God couldn't possibly have created it" is one of the most baffling concepts I've ever heard. First off, it kinda flies in the face of the idea that God is an all-powerful being who created everything. And secondly, assuming for a very brief moment that God exists and the Bible depicts true events... dude killed almost all of his creations because they disobeyed him. I have trouble believing that a being like that *wouldn't* create stuff harmful to people.
At this point, Standing for Truth is willfully dishonest.
At every point in the past too.
you don't say
Regarding the thing with "you can't form heavy elements in a supernova", that's true - not just any supernova, anyway. It only happens in appreciable quantities when neutron stars collide. The supernovas that created those two neutron stars don't produce the preposterous energies needed to form gold and heavier elements.
Apparently, our solar system was formed in the intersection of expanding bubbles of debris from two such events. Lucky us, we get shiny baubles and nuclear bombs.
My favorite Creationist Model so far is _"My model accounts for that. My model accounts for everything your model does. I don't HAVE a model. My model predicts that, too."_ .
You do fantastic work in exposing creationist nonsense. Keep it up.
"Good luck washing the sun off in an acid bath Donny." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A change of the radiometric decay rate can also be refuted by using astronomical observations. That´s because the decay rate depends on the strenght of the weak force which is also essential in stellar fusion. But no matter how far the look, the physics in the cosmos looks exactly like back home.
Did you take a break? I've not seen one of your video in a long time. Good to see your content again!
“a BARE nucleus decays, so radiometric dating is invalid” well done S4T. The mantle is notorious for being an electron-free vacuum plasma, right?
Well, I got my busted pipes capped off, and came back to watch the rest of this while the glue dries, so I'm stopping in go put a comment on, as well, for the care and feeding of the Almighty Algorithm. 🙃
Thanks, Erika, for what you do!
❤️❤️
It's so great that we get more and more science based channels on YT. As YEC, Flerfs and other ideologies are spreading like wildfire it's great to have some counter this mess. Seeing how involved and with much determination some of those people follow their ideology I start to understand how people can get so tangled in their crazy ideas to be willing to provoke a war. Though, it's really sad that at this time and age the civilized world resorted back to such primitive measures.
So thank you for your videos and the efford you put into it.
Note: the entire Internet is a series of compters, all linked together and sharing information; the absolutely ridiculous timing necessary for all those computers to function together, is based on atomic clocks.
Our understanding of radiometrics is so good, that we base the functionality of the Internet on it. If we want all the separate computer programs to run in the proper sequence, pico-second timing is absolutely necessary. Try to hook up multiple computers that are running at different clock speeds, see how long it will function before total crash. It won't take long for any major program to be out of synch, before it completely bricks the system.
If the Internet is working, then YEC is busted. So, the next time you see a YEC video on Ytube; comment on the video that putting it on Ytube...disproves their argument.
